Christmastime has been a time of reflection for yours truly in recent years. So, with that in mind, I want to preemptively thank those of you who reach out this time of year. Your kindness, consideration, and love is always appreciated. Now that I’ve gotten that out of the way, let’s talk about the playoff-bound Chicago Bears.
I hadn’t thought a ton about Bears cornerback Kyler Gordon since he was placed on injured reserve until I saw this tweet from Sun-Times reporter Jason Lieser:Bears coach Ben Johnson says it’s possible CB Kyler Gordon (groin) could come back off IR for a playoff game. No real update, but he brought it up unprompted.
— Jason Lieser (@JasonLieser) December 22, 2025 Don’t get me wrong. I’ve admired what C.J. Gardner-Johnson has done out of the slot cornerback position in Gordon’s absence. Plus, the versatility CJGJ has provided has been a nice treat. But a healthy Kyler in that role is a game changer. That Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson even hinted at the possibility of Gordon returning from his latest IR stint to play in a postseason game certainly grabs my attention.EPISODE XIV OF THE BN BEARS PODCAST IS HERE: Apple | Spotify | YouTube
We’ll get a full Bears injury report later on Wednesday, but Gardner-Johnson, as well as wide receivers Rome Odunze and Luther Burden III weren’t seen during Tuesday’s portion of practice that was open to reporters. In other Bears injury news: The Athletic’s Kevin Fishbain shares (via BlueSky) that offensive lineman Luke Newman has been designated for a return off injured reserve. While I’m glad the Bears have modernized their coaching to fit this century, there are few things as elite as 1990s Christmas aesthetic:Shoutout to whoever put these mini #Bears plastic helmets on the small tree at Halas Hall. Loved these things in the 90’s. pic.twitter.com/I28WwBlrT1
— Zack Pearson (@Zack_Pearson) December 24, 2025 Other Bears things we should bring back from the 1990s include a playoff win (remember when Steve Walsh pulled off that road upset against the Vikings?) and Starter jackets. Bears things that should be left in the 1990s and never spoken of again include threatening to move to Indiana. OPE! It’s too late for that one. And Gary’s mayor is willing to roll out the red carpet for Chicago’s football team. A whole lotta people watched the Bears beat the Packers on Saturday…BEARS LOCAL TV RATINGS: The Packers game on Fox 32 drew a household rating of 25.4 (~928K HHs), peaking at 27.6 (~1.04M) in the 10:15p quarter-hour. It’s the Bears’ second-highest local rating of the season, behind the 27.0 from the first Packers game.

But the CFP clearly didn’t care for them because of where they put them on the calendar. In an alternate universed, I would’ve made time for all four of those Saturday games — but only if the college games were moved to a different time and date. 670 The Score’s Chris Emma got a great quote from Drew Dalman after the Bears center was named to his first Pro Bowl: “If I’m being honest, an individual award for O-line play feels a little silly because I just rely on those guys every single play all the time. We’re always working in conjunction with each other. So, all the credit in the world to those guys. Playing next to them has helped me so much and just the knowledge and effort from them has been really helpful.”BEARS PRO BOWL NEWS: Three Players Make It … But Nahshon Wright Got Snubbed!
Sheesh! Bears quarterback Caleb Williams would be closing in on the first 4,000-yard passing year in franchise history if not for drops. Twitter/X account NFL_Researcher shares the nugget that no NFL quarterback has lose more yards due to drops this season than Williams’ 352. Even still, there is a non-zero chance that Chicago’s QB1 makes it to 4,000. All he has to do is throw for 600 yards over the next two games. Because you care: The Niners have given up 300+ passing yard games to Matthew Stafford (Rams, Week 5), C.J. Stroud (Texans, Week 8), and Jacoby Brissett (Cardinals, Week 11). The Brissett game stands out because he threw for 452 freaking yards. The 49ers also just coughed up 277 passing yards to Philip Rivers a.k.a. Grandpa Phil. San Fran gives up the 11th-most fantasy points to quarterbacks, per Yahoo’s calculations. So if you’re playing for a fantasy title this weekend, be sure to start Chicago’s QB1.
